usual or traditional in a society
Done in the way people usually do it in a place or group; normal and expected.
استعمال کا انداز:
it is customary to [verb]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"it is customary for do"* instead of *"it is customary to do"*. The correct pattern is *"It is customary to [verb]"* or *"It is customary for [someone] to [verb]"*. Learners also sometimes confuse *customary* with *costume*; *customary* is about usual behavior, not clothing.
